New York Puzzle Company - New Yorker Bodega Cat - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle for Adults by R. Kikuo Johnson

these are the best puzzles I have ever done. the pieces are the most obscure shapes rather than the basic inline stuff.

New York Puzzle Company puzzles are fantastic. High quality, fun imagery, and pieces that fit. I am always pleased with my purchases. Happy with this adorable design/New Yorker cover.

This one took me a couple of weeks to complete but it was worth it. It was way more challenging than I expected. The illustration style makes it difficult to distinguish the different sections among the pieces. I did almost give up! But I'm so glad that I stuck with it. I would love to try out another New Yorker puzzle now that I've been completing puzzles more avidly. One thing to note is this puzzle is not a standard cut, so there are a lot of unique piece shapes, which is fun and adds to the challenge.

Nice quality, a bit more challenging than most NYT cover puzzles. Lots of open space.

Solid color definition and medium challenge.

Just love this Bodega Cat image as I do mostly all art from New Yorker Magazine. Puzzle pieces are quite thin in comparison to brands like Ravensburger or Springbok. Piece fit was excellent with no false fits, loved the random cuts which I much prefer over ribbon cuts. Pieces are not overly glossy but do have some sheen, not a matte finish. Puzzle dust is minimal. Quality is very good, just a few pieces with very lightly creased tabs, very bright, excellent printing. The biggest negative is that puzzle falls apart very easily when trying to move even small sections around, very annoying. Probably the thinner pieces aggravate this. Also, some pieces do not fully interlock with others until surrounding pieces are put into place. All in all a very enjoyable puzzle experience. I would buy another puzzle from New York Puzzle Comany again!

A rich, lushly painted palette by artist by Jean-Jacques Sempe sets a New York state of mind for the cover of "The New Yorker" magazine from November 1997. This image will appeal to many audiences: New York dreamers, cat lovers, Sempe fans, cityscape enthusiasts, and New York Puzzle Company aficionados. The intimate space of the bedroom, rendered in dark, muted colors, frames a bed laid with a white quilt bathed in sunlight from a large picture window upon which a calico cat enjoys a serene slumber. Meanwhile, the city that never sleeps is painted in a riot of blue, green, orange and red colors with every window depicting New Yorkers toiling away in their high-rise offices. The cat’s owners are presumably part of the rat race taking place beyond the room’s quiet borders as evidenced by the two coffee mugs at bedside and scattered newspapers.Repurposing "The New Yorker" covers as puzzles is a brilliant combination of art and puzzling. You’re not just building a puzzle; you’re building a story. These puzzles are both a visual joy and a thoughtful puzzling experience. It’s a stunning image when assembled to its 1½ x 2-foot size.

Bought it as a gift for my friend in New York. It was good quality!
